1 John 2:14-29

14I have writtenG1125 to you, fathersG3962, becauseG3754 you knowG1097 Him 1who has been from the beginningG746. I have writtenG1125 to you, youngG3495 menG3495, becauseG3754 you are 2strongG2478, and the 3wordG3056 of GodG2316 abidesG3306 in you, and 4you have overcomeG3528 the evilG4190 oneG4190.

15Do not loveG25 5the worldG2889 norG3366 the things in the worldG2889. 6IfG1437 anyoneG5100 lovesG25 the worldG2889, the loveG26 of the FatherG3962 is not in him. 16For allG3956 that is in the worldG2889, 7the lustG1939 of the fleshG4561 and 8the lustG1939 of the eyesG3788 and 9the boastfulG212 prideG212 of lifeG979, is not from the FatherG3962, but is from the worldG2889. 1710The worldG2889 is passingG3855 awayG3855, and also its lustsG1939; but the one who 11doesG4160 the willG2307 of GodG2316 livesG3306 foreverG165.

18ChildrenG3813, 12it is the lastG2078 hourG5610; and justG2531 as you heardG191 that 13antichristG500 is comingG2064, 14evenG2532 nowG3568 manyG4183 antichristsG500 have appearedG1096; from thisG3606 we knowG1097 that it is the lastG2078 hourG5610. 1915They wentG1831 out from us, but they were not really of us; for ifG1487 they had beenG1510 of us, they would have remainedG3306 with us; but they went out, 16soG2443 that 17it would be shownG5319 that they allG3956 are not of us. 2018But you haveG2192 an 19anointingG5545 from 20the HolyG40 OneG40, and 21you allG3956 knowG3609. 21I have not writtenG1125 to you becauseG3754 you do not knowG3609 the truthG225, but 22becauseG3754 you do knowG3609 it, and 23becauseG3754 noG3956G3756 lieG5579 is 24of the truthG225. 22WhoG5101 is the liarG5583 but 25the one who deniesG720 that JesusG2424 is the 26ChristG5547? ThisG3778 is 27the antichristG500, the one who deniesG720 the FatherG3962 and the SonG5207. 2328WhoeverG3956 deniesG720 the SonG5207 does not haveG2192 the FatherG3962; the one who confessesG3670 the SonG5207 hasG2192 the FatherG3962 alsoG2532. 24As for you, let that abideG3306 in you whichG3739 you heardG191 29from the beginningG746. IfG1437 whatG3739 you heardG191 from the beginningG746 abidesG3306 in you, you alsoG2532 30will abideG3306 in the SonG5207 and in the FatherG3962. 2531ThisG3778 is the promiseG1860 whichG3739 He HimselfG846 32madeG1861 to us: eternalG166 lifeG2222.

26TheseG3778 thingsG3778 I have writtenG1125 to you concerningG4012 thoseG3588 who are trying to 33deceiveG4105 you. 27As for you, the 34anointingG5545 whichG3739 you receivedG2983 from Him abidesG3306 in you, and you haveG2192 noG3756 needG5532 for anyoneG5100 to teachG1321 you; but as His anointingG5545 35teachesG1321 you aboutG4012 allG3956 thingsG3956, and is 36trueG227 and is not a lieG5579, and justG2531 as it has taughtG1321 you, 37you abideG3306 in Him.

28NowG3568, 38littleG5040 childrenG5040, abideG3306 in Him, soG2443 that whenG1437 He 39appearsG5319, we may haveG2192 40confidenceG3954 and 41not 42shrinkG153 awayG575 from Him in shameG153 43at His 44comingG3952. 29IfG1437 you knowG3609 that 45He is righteousG1342, you knowG1097 that everyoneG3956 alsoG2532 who practicesG4160 righteousnessG1343 46is 47bornG1080 of Him.
